Due to the growing population, some birds leave the region and fly westbound. It is known, for instance, that a female WTE from Darß (a peninsula on the German coast of the Baltic Sea) settled near Kiel. She is breeding there since some years successfully.

Two White-tailed Eagles, seven and eight years old, were found dead near their nest tree last weekend. Another breeding pair has been reported as missing. Some kilometres away at Schaalsee 48 ravens and 1 red kite were found poisoned by the insecticide Dimethoate in March 2012. In this region at least four White-tailed eagles were killed by the insecticide Mevinphos in 2010.

World Wildlife Fund is offering 3000 Euro for information leading to the conviction of the person or persons responsible for poisoning the birds.

Conservationists noticed several abandoned White-tailed Eagle nests in a region east of Anklam in early May. Three breeding pairs are reported missing, below one nest people found a broken egg. In another eagle territory the whole nest crashed to the ground. The same happened to four WtE nests in this area during the last years.
